Collection of Personal Information

 

​

 

Information RMC Collects

When you use the Site, your personal information may be collected in a variety of ways.

 

 

As detailed below, the type of personal information we collect may vary based on how it was gathered but may include, among others, your name, email address, and other information that you voluntarily submit (e.g., when contacting us), information automatically collected about your usage of the Site (e.g., the content that you choose to view).  When you provide information to RMC in any other manner, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information.

 

How RMC Uses Your Personal Information

We will not use your personal information without a valid legal basis to do so.  Your personal information may be used for the purposes outlined below.

 

To Target Content

To develop and provide content to you that is targeted to your interests, we may use the information collected as described above to determine which areas of our website you prefer based upon the frequency of your visits and engagement with those areas.

 

We may make reasonable assumptions based on your browser provided data to target relevant content to you on the Site. We may also make reasonable geographic and demographic assumptions based on your presented IP address to target relevant content.

 

To Provide Interactive Communications from the Site

To enhance your experience, we may provide you with interactive communications, such as notifications of activity by topic to the email address that you have voluntarily provided to us. Such interactive communications are provided only to those individuals who have expressly consented to receiving these communications as part of their personal profile.

 

Sharing of Your Personal Information

From time-to-time we may provide you the opportunity to participate in surveys on the Site. If you participate, we will request certain personal information from you, such as your name and email.

 

Participation in the surveys is completely voluntary and you have a choice whether or not to disclose this information. We use this personal information to notify individuals we may decide to award prizes. We may use a third-party service provider to conduct these surveys; that company will be prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose.

 

We will not share the personal information you provide through a contest with other third parties unless we give you prior notice.

 

As Necessary to Provide Services to You

RMC may occasionally engage third parties to perform statistical analysis of our services. We will only provide those third parties the information they need to deliver the service.

 

In some instances, the third parties may collect information directly from you. In these cases, we would have notified you of the involvement of the external service providers.

 

In all cases, third-party providers are subject to agreements that require them to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.

 

As Required by Law

RMC may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law such as to comply with a subpoena, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or in connection with a judicial proceeding or legal process served on RMC.

 

Notice to EU Individuals: As outlined in this Privacy Statement, RMC will not process your personal information without a lawful basis to do so, as such bases as are defined in Article 6 of the GDPR.

 

RMC may also process certain personal information of EU individuals on the basis of the following legitimate interests, provided that such interests are not overridden by your privacy rights and interests:

 

delivering and continuing to develop and improve the Site;

 

learning from your behavior on the Site (e.g., analyzing traffic) to better serve you and other Site visitors;

 

helping us modify or enhance the Site and its content;

 

receiving insight as to what visitors do (and don’t) like about the Site or aspects thereof; and

 

providing a stable, consistent, and secure personal experience in connection with the Site.

 

 

Security

We use industry standard physical, electronic, and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information against loss or theft as well as from unauthorized access and disclosure to protect your privacy.

 

We treat data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ many different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorized access by visitors. However, please note that “perfect security” does not exist on the Internet. If you are concerned that your privacy may have been breached, please contact us as provided below.

 

Cross-border Transfer of Your Personal Information

Your personal information may be transferred to other countries in connection with your use of the Site. 

 

How Will I Know if the Privacy Statement Is Changed?

If we make any material changes, we will notify you by email (sent to the email address you shared with us) or by means of a notice on the Site prior to the change becoming effective.

 

We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.
